Welcome to LTTD, Danielle Alicia. We have quite a bit in common. I think you will enjoy these forums.

HS!

Callier, I thought you were moving to Indiana for me!? Oh well, maybe you could just split your time between me and Danielle Alicia. We could have shared custody of you...but I get ya for Halloween!

I had to chuckle at your psychopath comment, because (self-absorbed, but entirely facetious rant coming up), I often say that if I hadn't exited the religion when I did I probably would have been the first female to climb a clock tower and start taking people out, yelling things with each press of the trigger like, "This is for Charles Whitman! This is for my mind! This is for your hypocrisy, lies and for NOT GIVING ME A BIRTHDAY....EVER!!!"

So, in retrospect, I think the difference between a life of contented thought and total annhilation may have lain in one more year, month, week, or possibly even just a day longer in that religion. It's easy to snap when you are forced to follow a life not of your choosing, but especially easy when the life they pick for you is also not one you respect at all. I consider myself a survivor--I made it out alive and well!

I tried to walk away but he followed me along asking if I knew Jesus and would I like to go to church with him next Sunday.

He wasn't a JW though. This was of the Mormon variety.

All these crazy fuckers seem to originate from Utah and Salt Lake City.

You are being watched.

I am so sorry for what happened to you! Look, speaking as a survivor of Utah (I have only lived here since 2003 by the way), here is a friendly tip from me to you, dear Reverend: if you see two or more men in dark blue suits, short hair, white shirts and carrying what looks suspiciously like religious propoganda materials, RUN! I consider them armed and dangerous and always cross the street immediately. There have been, what I call, random conversion muggings here in Utah. This is where someone gets clubbed over the back of the head with the Book of Mormon, dragged into an alley and hypocritically lectured, only to reemerge glassy-eyed and completely converted. It's a horrible thing to witness. :>

Indeed you are. No joke. I dated a fellow who's father was employed with the NSA.

Some of his accounts would send shivers up ones spine.

Ever see the film "Enemy Of The State"?

Let's just say that that film wasn't too far off the par......

Don't even get Me started on the crazy cult which is (The Mormons). I have done vast research on them and well....

Well.

Nutters. Every single one of them (however, if you need help in moving or in yard work etc. they are useful.)

I couldn't agree more. I actually don't know much about them, because I don't care at all about their beliefs. However, a friend of mine was telling me a couple of things about them once and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was so insane I wouldn't filthy up this board with what I heard! But, suffice to say you are right: "nutters" about covers it.
